Summary
The Center of Arts and Academics epitomizes what is possible when schools, community members, local government leaders, and design and construction professions collaborate in a shared vision. Not only do the students have facilities suited to their unique interests, but the CAA campus is a point of pride for everyone in Charleston County.
